In a significant legal action, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against TikTok, alleging that the popular social media platform has violated state laws designed to protect children's privacy. The lawsuit claims that TikTok unlawfully shares personal data of minors and breaches the Texas parental consent law, raising serious concerns about the safety and privacy of young users online. Paxton's suit references multiple violations, including the SCOPE Act, as the state seeks to address the risks posed by the app's handling of minors' data. This legal battle underscores a growing trend of scrutiny towards social media companies and their practices involving children's information.
